X-Rite has announced the release of ColorTRUE for Apple iOS and Google Android platforms.

ColorTRUE provides photographers, designers, and prepress professionals the ability to calibrate and profile their tablet and mobile devices for accurate colour matching, includes a Create Profile tool and an Image Gallery viewer and is currently available as a free download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Steve Rankin, Product Manager, at X-Rite, commented: “While iOS and Android devices deliver pleasing colour right out of the box, ColorTRUE is the first app that will provide photographers, designers, and prepress professionals with a true colour match from desktop to mobile.”

“Whether showing your portfolio to a perspective client or soft-proofing an image before final run, ColorTRUE delivers colour accuracy at the level X-Rite customers expect, while maintaining the speed and simplicity of use necessary in the mobile environment.”

ColorTRUE creates a custom display profile for iOS and Android mobile devices using a supported X-Rite measurement device. The user places the connected device on the tablet or phone and the measurement process begins automatically. The profile is applied to all images displayed through the ColorTRUE Image Gallery, providing the user with the most accurate colour match to a desktop reference monitor, or other colour managed monitors.
